Helping to build capabilities, knowledge, and partnerships through shared work

Development partners contribute skills, resources and delivery capacity. Communities define their priorities; public institutions retain their mandates. FormalizationOS connects these contributions through agreed responsibilities, relevant evidence and a shared approach grounded in the local context.

Partnership begins with listening to the community and understanding its priorities.

Agree the support required, who will deliver it and how participants will review their work as the programme develops.

Where it fits

Start with shared priorities and a practical plan for local delivery.

Partners may support training, evidence preparation, technical services or programme coordination. Each contribution should address locally identified needs, fit the relevant jurisdiction and complement the skills already present within communities and the institutions working alongside them locally.

Agreed work plans clarify responsibilities, resources and review points. Participants should understand how decisions are made, how progress is documented and how concerns can be raised, discussed and addressed throughout the programme’s delivery.

Local priorities shape the support and responsibilities that partners agree together.

TradePass, GeoTag and GCI are designed to support identity, place and evidence. FormalizationOS brings these foundations into programme planning alongside compliance support and consortium development. Each pathway must reflect local requirements, community priorities and the responsibilities of its participants. Creating a profile expresses interest; admission, verification and service commitments require their own review and agreement with participants.

Communities shape programmes through participation, local priorities and knowledge

Miners and cooperatives

Set local priorities, represent members and identify practical needs. Women and community voices help shape shared decisions and responsibilities.

Ministries and regulators

Clarify requirements and public responsibilities. Formal recognition remains with the relevant authorities for each jurisdiction, activity and the permissions that are needed.

Specialist partners

Contribute research, safeguards and environmental or social expertise. Help participants define relevant evidence and review their progress over time.

Technical and funding partners

Provide skills, services and resources through agreed work plans. Set clear responsibilities, milestones and conditions for support being offered.
